AwkwardTV

Bleah, what a terrible name! (no offense intended if it's a name you came up with) I know it's based on some technology, but most people aren't gonna get the reference to that technology and they aren't gonna get that it's also a reference to ATV.

Not my name... nor did I create the concept, but yes... the site actually has technical information. Fancy that! :confused:

But, err.. you do 'member the SomethingAwful forum?

Where the atv hacking actually began? :confused:

Hacking just ain't pretty, I suppose...

IMHO the cause is probably the domain name more than anything. Apple has to protect their trademarks.
 
Appletvhacks has been around since Day 1. Welcome to 2 months ago. They didn't get shut down by Apple, they just run out of bandwidth all the time.

I also knew about appletvhacks.net from around the first week. However, that's quite a strong message to display when you run out of bandwidth. Makes it looks like the website is gone.

Its the message that that hosting company uses when a site is suspended. Sites can be suspended for any number of reasons. If Hackint0sh is still around but atvhacks isn't, then I'll be darned.
